There is still time to enter, or you can wait and see if it's something you might want to get into.
It's NOT intended that this be a daily RP competition, or even every other day. The schedule will be pretty flexible--the first match day (race day/RP cutoff day) will be Tuesday, May 19, scored around 10:00 pm EDT/0300 GMT Wednesday 5/20.
Initially, there will be approximately 4 races/race meetings for every MD--this will grow to include races for 3yo & 4yo & up entries so that there would probably be 5 or 6 races for every RP cutoff.
The Xkorinate sport file that will be used is the Auto Racing function, Qualifying with 2 laps; this has been recommended by several nations and tested extensively by myself & others.
There will be a range of handicaps that will be applied to horses, that will vary under circumstances. All information related to those assignments will be available to all competitors.
This will have all of the basic info, as well as the RP/handicap bonus sheet, the standings and other nuggets of wisdom you may or may not want to know.

The races that will make up the Opening Day:
--maidens, 5 furlongs on turf (no turns) @ White River Racecourse, Endborough, BP (3 Heats)
--maidens, 6 furlongs on dirt @ Tundra Falls Proving Ground, Newmanistan (3 Heats)
--maidens, 5.5 furlongs on dirt @ Stafford City Raceway, Hampton Island (2 Heats)
--allowance, 6.5 furlongs on turf @ White River (2 Heats)
The JCBP will give you all the details on the tracks within the Commonwealth that will host; competitor nations who have approved race dates have the choice to provide as much or little info about their tracks as they wish, and of course this would be graded for RP purposes.
